Hi there,
We're the team behind Bearing Station - I work on the web side of things, and Phil and Nev (who should be registering for the forum right now) are the guys who set up the business and between them have around 40 years worth of experience with bearings, belts, seals and a bucket-load of other technical things that I don't really understand because I'm the computer guy.

Basically, I thought it might be of interest for the guys to answer any questions mycncuk users might have about the various products they supply. Jonathan has already suggested a "service to bore their HTD timing pulleys and add grubscrews" so hopefully Phil can address that once he's logged in!

So - please ask anything you like and we'll do our best to answer.
Thanks,
Mark

Quick introduction my name is Phil. I have been involved with advising and selling of bearing, belts, pulleys adhesives and pretty much most things industrial mechanical for over 20 years. I am offering my service to anyone who has any queries with selecting of pulleys, belts bearings and hopefully I can help.

Re boring of pulleys sprockets etc. we can offer a boring service for you which we can price on application. Sometimes boreing isnt necessary if you can accept taper lock bushes in a taper lock pulley. If you heavent heard of these it is simply a pulley that has been machined to accomadate a bush that you can attach to a shaft with a keyway negating the need for boreing the pulley or sprocket

Welcome Bearingstation I was wondering if you could shed any light on the answer to life the universe and everything?

Alternatively do you recommend gluing aluminium pulley to the shafts of stepper motors with strong loctite?

Hello. If you were going to use an adhesive i would recommend Bondloc B415X20GRM which is the same as loctite only cheaper. Normally you would also have a grub screw with the shaft nipped to locate the pulley to ensure a secure grip. The only other thing to consider is the speed and temperature which could have an effect on any bond. I have attached a data sheet or linked anyway for you to check out the adhesive Bondloc manufacturer of Industrial Adhesives and Sealants

Hi I've registered in this forum in desperation - my problem is that I have been waiting for several weeks for a refund of £51.04 which I paid on the 2 November . See order No. 7398 which I cancelled by phone and confirmed this by email on 15 November.

I can't get seem to get any response to emails, and my attempts to progress the refund via phone calls (to Neville) have not borne fruit!

Please can whoever reads this expedite the refund?

Thanks
Peter
